As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Ukrainian military explained why they could not shoot down the Kh-22 missile, which destroyed part of a residential high-rise building in Dnipro. The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have fire weapons capable of shooting down this type of missiles.
Five Kh-22 cruise missiles were fired at the territory of Ukraine. Launches were carried out from the Kursk Region and from the waters of the Sea of Azov.
